Definitions

  • This invention relates to stamped and formed terminals for mounting on a circuit board.
  • the mounting legs for terminals may be dimensioned to have an interference fit in the circuit board hole or they may be designed to provide a resilient force on the walls of the circuit board hole after they are inserted.
  • Known terminals having mounting legs of these general types are acceptable if the dimensions of the mounting legs and the diameters of the circuit board holes are such that the terminals are retained in the holes.
  • the circuit board holes are oversized relative to the dimensions of the mounting legs on the terminals, frequent problems are encountered in that the terminals tend to fall from the mounting holes.
  • Manufacturers of electrical equipment are frequently troubled by such problems for the reason that they usually obtain their circuit boards from a remote source and they have limited control over the manufacture of the circuit boards.
  • a manufacturer of electrical equipment must, therefore, frequently solve problems involving oversize circuit board holes and resulting in securely placed terminals on a circuit board by the use of added manpower and reworking and inspection of the circuit boards immediately prior to soldering.
  • a stamped and formed sheet metal terminal intended for mounting in a circular hole in a circuit board has first and second mounting legs which are received in the circuit board hole to retain the terminal on the circuit board.
  • Each of the mounting legs has a retaining portion which extends from the terminal partially along its length, the retaining portion having a width which is sufficient to establish an interference fit into a small diameter circuit board hole.
  • the legs are characterized in that each leg has a reduced width portion between the retaining portions and the free ends of the legs.
  • Each of the legs also has camming means on the reduced width portions and each of the legs has cam actuator means which are cooperable with the wall of the circuit board hole to cause the camming means to in turn cause movement of the legs away from each other during movement of the legs into the circuit board hole whereby, the legs can easily be inserted into the circuit board hole by reason of the reduced width portions, and during movement of the legs into said circuit board hole, the legs will be moved apart by the camming means and the retaining portions will establish an interference fit in the circuit board hole and retain the terminal on said circuit board.
  • Figure 1 shows a stamped and formed sheet metal terminal 2 having mounting means on its lower end for mounting the terminal on the circuit board such that the terminal can be soldered to conductors 6 on the underside of the circuit board 8.
  • the terminal 2, except for its mounting legs, is in accordance with U.S. 4,261,629.
  • the terminal 2 comprises opposed inner platelike members 10, 10' and outer platelike members 12, 12' which are connected to the inner platelike members by reverse bends or bights 16, 16'.
  • the inner platelike members 10, 10' are connected to each other by an integral bight 14 and the outer platelike members 12, 12' are inwardly turned at their lower ends as shown at 20, 20'.
  • the mounting means comprises first and second mounting legs 22, 22' which extend downwardly from the inwardly turned portions 20, 20'. When the terminal is to be mounted on the circuit board 8, the legs 22, 22' are moved relatively towards each other and are then inserted into the circuit board hole 9.
  • a wire 4 can be moved into the slots 18, 18' of the platelike members 10, 12, and 10' and 12' so that the edges of these slots will penetrate the insulation of the wire and contact the conducting core of the wire.
  • the legs 22, 22' are similar but are not identical to each other and the same reference numerals differentiated by prime marks are therefore used to identify corresponding structural features of the two legs.
  • Each leg has a retaining portion 24, 24' which is adjacent to the portions 20, 20', a cam actuator portion 26, 26' which adjoins the retaining portions 24, 24' and camming and guiding portions 28, 28' which extend to the free ends 30, 30' of the legs.
  • the legs have opposed surfaces 36, 36' and first and second side edges on each side of the opposed surfaces.
  • the side edges of the first leg 22 are indicated at 32 and 34 and the first and second side edges of the second leg 22' being indicated at 32' and 34'.
  • the legs are of the same width as measured between the side edges in the retaining portions 24, this width being substantially equal to, and slightly less than, the diameter of the smallest hole for which the device is intended.
  • the retaining portions 24, 24' should have a width of about 1.01 ⁇ 0.05 mm when the smallest hole 9 for which the device is intended, has a diameter of about 1.07 mm. If the retaining portions have a width of 1.02 mm, the device can be mounted in circuit board holes in the range of about 1.07 mm to 1.27 mm.
  • the cam actuator sections 26, 26' and the camming and guiding portions 28, 28' of the legs are of a reduced width relative to the retaining portions 24, 24'.
  • the first side edge 32 of the first leg 22 is inclined, as shown at 38, inwardly beginning at the lower end of the retaining portion and the first side edge 32 of the first leg 22 is inwardly displaced as shown at 40 in the camming and guiding portion relative to the first side edge 32' of the leg 22'.
  • the second side edge 34' of the second leg 22' slopes inwardly as shown at 38' and in the camming and guiding portion, this second side edge of leg 22' is inwardly displaced as shown at 40' relative to the second side edge 34 of the first leg 22.
  • the width of the legs in the camming and guiding sections 28, 28' should be such that the legs will move freely into the smallest diameter hole for which the device is intended. For example, this width may be 0.76 mm when the terminal is intended for circuit board holes having diameters in the range of 1.07 to 1.27 mm.
  • the opposed surfaces of the legs have camming bosses 46, 46' thereon, located in the camming and guiding portions 28, 28'. These camming bosses have camming surfaces 47, 47' which are approximately parabolic, as shown in Figure 4, and are opposed to each other when the legs are in their normal positions so that when the legs are moved towards each other these surfaces will engage each other. These bosses are formed by indenting the outwardly facing surfaces of the legs 22, 22', as shown in Figure 1 at 50.
  • the second side edge 34 Adjacent to the free end 30 of the leg 22, the second side edge 34 is sharply inclined inwardly as shown at 42 to provide a lead-in surface for the terminal when it is inserted into the hole 9.
  • the lower portion of the first side edge 32' of the second leg 22' is similarly inclined inwardly as shown at 42'.
  • the free ends of the legs 30, 30' can also be swaged, as shown at 44, to further facilitate movement of the free ends into the circuit board hole.
  • the legs 22, 22' are normally opposed to each other as shown in Figures 3 and 4, and their camming and guiding portions 28, 28' overlap so that the total width of both legs is the same as the width of an individual leg 22, 22' in the retaining portions 24, 24'.
  • the legs are, however, capable of limited flexing laterally in their own planes, for reasons which will be explained below and as illustrated in Figure 5.
  • the outer platelike members 12, 12' are flexed inwardly towards the inner platelike members 10, 10' until the surfaces 47, 47' of the cams 46, 46' are against each other as shown in Figure 4.
  • the operation of flexing the terminal in this manner and inserting it into the circuit board hole can be carried out either manually or by an insertion machine.
  • the inclined portions 38, 38' of the first and second legs engage the edge 11 of the circuit board hole thereby causing the legs to be moved back towards their aligned positions.
  • the cams 46, 46' will again be brought into opposed aligned positions and the legs will thereby be cammed apart, see Figure 8.
  • the retaining portions 24, 24' penetrate the circuit board and establish a secure interference fit of these retaining portions in the circuit board hole.
  • the cams 46, 46' serve as a locking means after complete insertion of the terminal and maintain this interference fit in the circuit board hole.
  • Figures 3-8 illustrate the movement of the legs into a circuit board hole 9 at the lower tolerance limit of the range of circuit board holes for which the legs are intended.
  • the corners 52, 52' of the legs penetrate the material of the circuit board relatively deeply.
  • the condition shown in Figure 8 has been observed and this condition will come about if the circuit board is of relatively soft material, for example, if the circuit board is of a paper filled phenolic resin. If the circuit board is of a relatively hard material which is resistant to penetration by the corners 52, 52', the legs may not be fully returned to their aligned positions and may be flexed along their axes to some extent. In this latter event, however, a tight interference fit of the legs in the circuit board hole is nonetheless obtained.
  • Figure 10 is similar to Figure 8 except that it shows the condition which exists when the legs are inserted into a hole at the upper tolerance limit of the range of hole diameters.
  • the corners 52, 52' do not penetrate the material of the circuit board to the same extent, however, they are wedged tightly in the hole and are maintained in their wedged condition by the cams 46, 46'.
  • Figure 11 illustrates the advantage obtained in the practice of the invention, as compared with prior art methods of mounting terminals in circuit boards.
  • the dotted line curve in Figure 11 relates the pushout force, the force in kilograms required to push a terminal out of a circuit board hole after insertion, to the diameter, in millimeters, of the circuit board hole.
  • the solid line curve relates the push out force to the hole diameter for a terminal having mounting legs in accordance with the invention.
  • the solid line curve shows that the pushout force drops only very slightly when the hole diameter changes from 1.07 mm to 1.27 mm and satisfactory results are obtained even if the hole is a diameter greater than 1.27 mm.
